#grid modernization

India’s power output growth slowed to its lowest rate since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2024, according to recent data.

Transmission expansion, advanced grid tech, and storm response are critical priorities for the new year.

This development highlights the complex challenges faced by developing nations in balancing economic growth, energy security, and environmental concerns.

Jiangsu Power Grid Upgrades for Winter Peak Demand

This collaborative effort between Google Cloud, NRG Energy, and Renew Home could serve as a blueprint for modernising energy systems nationwide.

As the energy sector continues to evolve, this digital transformation of transformer substations represents a crucial step towards developing grids that are fit for the future, capable of handling the complexities of renewable energy integration, and meeting the changing demands of consumers.

A Leap in power infrastructure.

The grid is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need for greater resilience and reliability.

As we look to the future, it’s clear that VSC-HVDC technology will continue to play a major role in the power grid.

In the world of power systems, timing is everything.

TSO AST will receive €73.24 million ($79.42 million) to develop the transmission network and prepare for the synchronization of the Baltic states with Europe.

As the world shifts towards a more sustainable and renewable energy future, the need for efficient and reliable power flow control solutions has become increasingly important. 

“The upcoming FERC 881 order is merely the first domino to fall in a slew of upcoming enhancements that utilities will need to make to keep up with the increasing demand for electricity.” -Jorgen Festervoll, CEO of Heimdall Power

The traditional substation is a staple of the electrical grid, but it’s about to get a major upgrade.

As the energy transition accelerates, utilities and cities face numerous challenges in managing energy and water.

The investment is part of a broader effort to modernize the grid and address challenges posed by rising demand and aging infrastructure.

“The Inflation Reduction Act makes the largest investment in rural electrification since FDR and the New Deal in the 1930s.” -John Podesta

DSO-city collaboration is needed to ensure that grid status and needs are integrated into urban planning and decision-making, E.DSO reports in a new innovation brief.

Grid distribution systems are updating their planning processes to handle the increasing integration of distributed energy resources.

L&T’s  power transmission & distribution (PT&D) business of has won new orders in India and abroad for establishing substations and transmission lines.

New software is implemented to calculate the power flow sensitivity matrix helping describe line flow changes when load or generation changes.

Grid modernization addresses growing demand as well as increasing renewable energy sources.

Synchronous condensers are electrical machines similar to generators, spinning without an active load.
